Two approaches to Search Engine Optimisation
In the last episode I told you about SEO delusions. In case you missed it - I suggest you watch it first and then come back to this one. If you have already seen it, then let’s go! Today we will talk about two completely different approaches to Search Engine Optimisation.
Let’s put SEO of the past and SEO of the present side by side to get a clearer picture:
- With [SEO of the past] success is measured with rankings.
- With [SEO of the present] success is measured using traffic, ROI and many other Key Performance Indicators.
So what does [SEO of the past] consist of?
- Using only a few keywords.
- Writing SEO-focused copy based on these keywords.
- Performing some minor on-site optimization using SEO scripts.
- Automating off-site optimization | text on the video => (buying backlinks).
[SEO of the present] consists of a more comprehensive list of key factors
- Core enhancement: refining website structure and creating targeted page.
- Technical website audit.
- Working with content factors Such as paving the right direction for content improvement and increasing targeted page relevance for search queries.
- Lessening the technical problems on the website and fixing them.
- Organic link building.
- External backlink audit.
- Working with consumer behavior factors.
- Working with social factors and social signals.
- A deep web-analysis system based on KPI and ROI factors.
And of course: 10. Conversion Rate Optimization. Forget about SEO of the past. It doesn’t work anymore.
Search engines are a new, civilized world in which you should properly behave.
It is impossible to survive alone in a new world. This applies more to SEO than ever before.
SEO is now a team effort that includes
- project manager;
- internet marketing specialist;
- copywriting department;
- content marketing department;
- SEO analytics and technologies department;
- link building and guerilla marketing department;
And of course:
- the web developer and the client.
Very important: One team won’t be able to make progress without the other. Once again. anything negative you’ve heard about SEO is based around the methods of SEO of the past. SEO of the present is focused on bringing you results and most importantly, it’s about bringing sales from your website!
